Strange statement to me! Americans either want to abide by the Constitution or not. It is our founding document! For goodness sakes, do you actually think that it takes the Government to force us to abide by the Constitution! The Constitution is written by and for the People NOT the Government! It is up to the People to enforce it NOT the Government! To say the they can not abide by the Constitution on their own implies that they must be forced to abide - just how crazy is that!!

Rather strange statement I’d say...

“To say the they can not abide by the Constitution on their own implies that they must be forced to abide”

No, it doesn’t imply that. But to say that they can abide by the Constitution on their own is quite similar to saying a person can get married or form a partnership on their own, without anyone else.

And yes, you can abide by the terms of a marriage or a partnership by yourself, but only the parts that apply to you, not the whole thing.
